The book deals largely with the follies and failures of the people who run this country (and the world). It is an excellent record of the period it covers.
-K.S.Murshid, Former Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Dhaka
A splendid account of the state of our world, seen from the perspective of an ardent realist-a captivating tour de force.
-M. Mujibul Huq, Former Cabinet Secretary, Government of Bangladesh
The first part of the book 'Timeless Timepieces' is a profound section. The second part of the book 'Peaks and Valleys' is very much Asafuddowlah. In part three and four, contemporary developments have been commented upon by the writer where he expresses his honest thoughts and offers his free comments. I am sure readers will like the book even if they do not accept all the views.
-Abul Maal A. Muhith, Finance Minister, Government of Bangladesh
It is a browser's paradise-and will open up different interest for different
readers. The chapters in this last named part will truly bring pains and panics in the readers' minds. As one reads the collections in every chapter, there is not a dull moment.
-M. Syeduzzaman, Former Finance Minister, Government of Bangladesh
Of Pains and Panics will be first noted for its widerange of subject matter. It reflects the erudition of the author and,more often than not, his unconventional views. One doesn’t have to agree with him to enjoy these pieces which combine freshness and vitality, felicity and poignancy, and lucidity and style. -Dr. Anisuzzaman, Professor Emeritus, University of Dhaka
This is a Dictionary of Knowledge. It contains topics from Religion to Environment including Bush & Blair. It is a wonderful combination of knowledge and information.
-Rafique-ul Huq, Barrister-at-Law
Of Pains and Panics is bound to provide readers with the insight of a creative man into issues ranging from religion to music, philosophy to economics, law to education, health to history, media to administration, so on and so forth.
-Nurul Kabir, Editor, New Age
1st Flape
This compilation mostly includes issues that affect our lives almost on a Sisyphean basis, though a few of those belong to the depth of our being—like capsuled oysters swashing on the sea floor four thousand meters deep. Articles are like sketches of the time we have lived through. They are the details of a landscape—painted in colours of fears and angers and sometimes in colours of rare delight.
The Author doesn’t nurse malice against anyone. But he holds a clear view and tries to speak in a clear voice. Many opinions, strong and not-so-strong, have been expressed on a great number of topics ranging from music to mother, philosophy to politics, sculpture to sports, globalism to governance. His observations were not intended either to elicit agreement nor choreographed to offend.
But if a poem fails to be more than a poem, it does not qualify for poetry. If a song is not more than a song, it does not nest in our hearts. So we are sure, Asafuddowlah's Of Pains and Panics will transcend beyond the printed pages to compel us travel over a wide field of thoughts to collect glimpses of the darkness of our times
